WEBINAR
The Best of Both of Worlds: The Playbook to Pulling off a ‘Hybrid’ Recruiting Season


12:00pm - 12:45pm EST

Virtual, in-person, or somewhere in between? As campuses reopen and travel picks back up, many university recruiting teams are grappling with the best way to bring in-person elements back into their campus strategies. After a year of highly effective virtual recruiting, identifying where and when to return to pre-pandemic ‘normal’ can be challenging. In this session, RippleMatch will share data-backed recommendations for tackling the ‘hybrid’ strategy and highlight the platform tools that will make this season a success whether you’re exclusively online or occasionally on-campus.

WEBINAR
Crafting a High-Impact Events Strategy: How To Plan, Execute, and Measure Your Recruitment Events


1:30pm - 2:30pm EST

For many campus teams, the shift to a virtual landscape in 2020 provided an opportunity to try out ‘company-owned’ virtual recruitment events on top of (or in place of) career fairs and conferences. The introduction of these events allowed recruiters to broaden their reach to students and get creative with programming, even while they tackled challenges like Zoom fatigue and technical roadblocks. Company-owned events are sure to be a mainstay of top campus teams – so how can you craft a strategy that’s effective, engaging, and achievable? In this session, RippleMatch will share a playbook for planning out high-impact events and walk you through the available platform tools that can help with promotion, execution, and ROI tracking. We will also showcase how RippleMatch customer AlphaSights is expertly leveraging the platform to put on and measure standout events.

WEBINAR
Diversifying Your Diversity Recruitment Strategy: Tips to Increase Representation and Retain Candidates from All Backgrounds


11:30am - 12:30pm EST

Building a diverse class of entry-level hires or interns means having representation across gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, ability, and more. To recruit folks from a wide range of backgrounds, it’s important to leverage a variety of channels, partnerships, tools, and messaging. Beyond that, it’s essential that company leadership is committed to a culture that will allow new grads to thrive professionally and personally at your company for the long-term. While there are countless angles to tackle D&I, join RippleMatch as we share our recommendations for building a multi-faceted diversity recruiting strategy, the RippleMatch tools that can help, and data on what candidates traditionally underrepresented in the workplace value when searching for a job. We will also showcase how RippleMatch customer Zillow  has crafted a standout and multi-faceted approach to recruiting and retaining underrepresented talent.
